2011 Novitec Rosso 599 GTO

A rated power output of 888 hp / 653 kW, a peak torque of 862 Nm and a top speed in excess of 340 km/h thanks to twin-compressor technology: NOVITEC ROSSO, the world leader in tuning for the sports cars from Maranello, presents an even more powerful and sportier version of the Ferrari 599 GTO in a world debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2011. To further improve the power-to-weight ratio and for even more dynamic handling the two-seater car is equipped with the new, extremely light NOVITEC ROSSO forged wheels.

The NOVITEC ROSSO engine specialists have developed an even more powerful version of the proven twin-compressor six-liter four-valve V12 engine for the sport version of the Ferrari 599. Both high-performance superchargers, driven by a cogged V-belt and lubricated by a dedicated oil circuit, were optimized further. Maximum boost pressure is limited to 0.45 bar.
The large water-to-air intercooler features a dedicated water circuit and is essential for maximum power yield and healthy engine temperatures. The intake side of the engine is further modified with an intake manifold custom-developed for the twelve-cylinder engine that features high-performance air filters and high-performance injectors.
The NOVITEC ROSSO stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system ensures unimpeded exhaust-gas flow. The exhaust features four black-coated tailpipes with diameters of 90 millimeters. This exhaust system also provides drivers the opportunity to select different exhaust notes. The Manettino button on the steering wheel adjusts the exhaust note from subtle to the extremely sporty sound of a true racing car.
The NOVITEC ROSSO engine management coordinates the perfect interaction of all components of the twin-compressor conversion for the GTO and ensures exceptional power yield, smooth running and maximum endurance.
After the engine conversion the 599 GTO is among the most powerful super sports cars in the world. Maximum power output jumps from standard 670 hp / 493 kW to 888 hp / 653 kW at 8,400 rpm, giving the supercharged sports car a power-to-weight ratio of 1.74 kg / hp. The tuned V12 also produces a superlative peak torque, which increases by 242 Nm to 862 Nm at 6,600 rpm.
The combination of powerful engine, extremely fast shifting six-speed F1 transmission and the low weight of the 599 GTO results in exceptional driving performance. The coupe sprints from rest to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and to 200 km/h in just 9.1 seconds. This establishes the NOVITEC ROSSO Bi-Kompressor firmly among the world’s fastest accelerating sports cars. Top speed is more than 340 km/h.
The silver special paint with yellow cross stripe and white patches for the starting number is reminiscence to the Ferrari 250 GTO racing car with chassis-no. 4153. In it the Belgians Lucien Bianchi and Georges Berger won the Tour de France in 1964. The lightweight-construction body itself remains unchanged with the exception of black taillights, third brake light, rear fog lamp and side markers.
The NOVITEC ROSSO suspension specialists have developed custom-tailored forged wheels specifically for the Ferrari 599 GTO. In their large size these new wheels are among the lightest of their kind anywhere in the world. They are anodized a titanium shade and feature five delicate double spokes. The resulting reduction in unsprung weight is crucial for agile handling.
The NOVITEC ROSSO NF4 10Jx21 rim for the front axle weighs just 10.4 kilograms; the size 12Jx22 rear wheel weighs only 13.8 kilograms. In addition to their low weight these wheels also widen the track and together with the wider Pirelli PZero tires in sizes 295/25 ZR 21 and 335/25 ZR 22 they allow even faster cornering speeds than the production tires.
NOVITEC ROSSO sport springs lower the center of gravity, which also contributes to this effect. An especially useful feature in everyday driving is the front-axle lift function the German specialists have devised for the GTO. At the push of a button in the cockpit the front can be raised by 40 millimeters. This eliminates the threat posed by speed bumps or underground parking ramps. Upon reaching a speed of 80 km/h the suspension automatically reverts to its original position.
Upon customer request NOVITEC ROSSO also offers exclusive interior options in any desired leather or Alcantara color for the lightweight-construction Ferrari.

2005 Novitec Rosso 575M Maranello

Without a doubt, the epicenter of European tuning can be found Germany. In no other country can you find companies such as Hamann and Novitec who have no qualms about modifying the supercars from Ferrari. Novitec, the tuner responsible for our feature car, have been upgrading Alfa Romeos, Fiats, Lancias and Ferrari 360 Modenas for some time, and here is their first Ferrari V12, the 575M Maranello.

By upgrading its engine mototronics, and adding their free flow stainless exhaust, Novitec have raised the horsepower of the 575 by 18 bhp. But really, most of the changes which set this showcar apart are cosmetic ones. For instance, Novitec's 575 features deeper sideskirts, a new front bumper and a rear end with a funtional rear wing. All these pieces are made from carbon fiber and, while making the car more striking, benefit its aerodynamic qualities.
Chassis refinements include 19 inch 'Enzo-like' wheels which conceal a new Novitec brake system that feature eight-piston calipers to stop 15 in (380mm) discs. Aditionally, Notivtec have made the coil-over-shock suspension doubly adjustable.
To complete the range, the interior can recieve Notivec's Supersport seats, steering wheel, pedals and a red or yellow tachometer as on the 360 Stradale/Enzo.

2003 Novitec Rosso F360 Supersport

Without a doubt, the epicenter of European tuning can be found Germany. In no other country can you find companies such as Hamann and Novitec who have no qualms about modifying the outrageous super cars from Maranello.
Novitec have been upgrading Alfa Romeos, Fiats and Lancias for some time, but recently have offered an accessory range for the 360 Modena and Spider. Under the Novitec Rosso name, the company has launched an extensive program for the 360 not limited just to aesthetics, but also including a twin-supercharger option which greatly improves peak power.

A Supercharged 360

Novitec modifies the 360 engine to two specific states of tune. What Novitec calls the Sport engine is the more drivable option having 555 horsepower, supercharged V8. For 5000 more euros, the system can be specifically tuned to reveal 606 horsepower at 8600 rpm, that is 211 more horsepower than the factory specification.
To achieve this power, the 360 Supersport starts off with a new carbon fiber intake plenium which works with a modified induction tract. With the addition of twin superchargers, the forced induction is the main source of the extra horsepower. Further modifications include new injectors, new water coolers, twin intercoolers and updated engine mototronics.
Also available with the engine upgrade is a stainless steel exhaust system which bypasses the flap used to meet noise level regulations. The usual Modena uses a regulatory flap to control emissions and noise during city driving

Suspension

Like the engine, the suspension upgrades are offered in Sport and Supersport packages. The Supersport package includes three-way adjustable shock absorbers. As for braking, Novitec are proud to offer a composite ceramic disc which Ferrari have only offered on the Enzo. Available with rosso, black or silver calipers the system requires nineteen inch wheels to clear the 15 inch (380mm) discs.

Body

Novitec offer many pieces which include carbon fiber replacements for the original aluminum pieces. Such panels include front, rear and side skirts, bumpers, wings and a complete underbody in carbon fiber.

2009 Novitec TuLesto

The world's most exclusive limited edition of 11 high-end sports car.
 
There are many fascinating automobiles money can buy but its spectacular design, its uncompromising high-performance concept and its limited edition of just eleven cars make the new NOVITEC TuLesto the most exclusive high-end sports car in the world.

2009 Novitec TuLesto.
The mid-engine racer is 204 centimeters wide and weighs in at just 1,260 kilograms. It is built by German automobile manufacturer NOVITEC in Stetten in Bavaria. At the heart of the two-seater is a V8 engine with dual superchargers and a rated power output of 777 hp / 571.8 kW. Thanks to its carbon fiber and aluminum construction the coupe has an excellent power-to-weight ratio of just 1.62 kg/hp. The result is driving performance that only very few super sports cars can match: The sprint from rest to 100 km/h takes less than 3.4 seconds, and the NOVITEC TuLesto reaches 300 km/h after just 22.6 seconds. Top speed is more than 350 km/h.
The new high-end sports car represents NOVITEC's first proprietary car and marks the company's 20th anniversary. "With the NOVITEC TuLesto we transform our collective know-how from two decades of automobile tuning into an uncompromising high-performance sports car for eleven of our long-time customers from around the world," says NOVITEC managing director Wolfgang Hagedorn. "The TuLesto offers an optimal symbiosis of exceptional driving dynamics and exciting yet aerodynamically efficient styling. "
Light-weight construction was one of the main goals from the very start of the project. The designers' materials of choice are normally found in racecars. The chassis and the integrated safety cell are made entirely from aluminum, making them extremely light while at the same time giving them extraordinary rigidity.
The striking design of the sports car is the result of a cooperation between NOVITEC and the Italian design studio Luca Serafini Stile in Modena. The unmistakable shape of the TuLesto was created using state-of-the-art CAD and CFD technologies, further augmented by the use of the wind tunnel. The TuLesto is 462 centimeters long, 204 centimeters wide and has a height of 122 centimeters.
The spectacular curves of the fenders, the front apron, the shape of the rear and the smooth underbody with integrated venturi tunnel and diffuser were calibrated in the wind tunnel to create an optimal aerodynamic balance.
For perfect weight distribution the NOVITEC TuLesto was designed with a classic mid-engine layout. The 4.4-liter four-valve V8 engine with dual superchargers is installed directly behind the cockpit. The high-tech engine produces a maximum power output of 777 hp / 571.8 kW at 8,200 rpm and a peak torque of 727 Nm at 6,300 rpm.
Motorsports was also the inspiration for the power transfer: The six gears of the semi-automatic gearbox with integrated anti-slip differential are shifted with carbon-fiber paddles behind the steering wheel. An adjustable traction control system with launch control for perfect starts guarantees maximum driving safety on the road and on the track.
The NOVITEC engineers and technicians also used racing technology on the suspension: As in GT-series racing, the TuLesto features double-wishbone suspension front and rear, height-adjustable struts with various selectable damping rates, and adjustable sway bars. For easy negotiating of underground parking ramps or similar obstacles the TuLesto front can be raised four centimeters at the push of a button. The anti-lock braking system features ceramic composite discs and six-piston fixed calipers front and back for maximum stopping power and endurance.
Another elementary contribution to the superior driving dynamics of the NOVITEC TuLesto comes from its ultra-light light-alloy wheels with diameters of 20 or 21 inches. These wheels were custom-developed for this coupe and are fitted with semi slicks up to 355 millimeters wide on the rear axle.
The interior design has a decidedly sporty nature but also offers creature comforts such as a climate-control system and a high-end sound system. Lightweight carbon fiber plays a dominating role in the interior as well: It is used for dashboard, center console and door trim as well as for the bucket seats which will be custom-fitted in form, shape, size, color and upholstery to each of the eleven future owners.
